Overview
- SAP announced investments in Berlin startups n8n and Parloa at its Sapphire conference, with reports putting the combined package above €60 million.
- Company-register filings show SAP bought roughly 1.2–1.3% of n8n via a secondary share purchase as n8n’s valuation reached $5.2 billion.
- n8n offers low-code workflow automation that links tools like Slack and Excel so teams can build AI-driven processes without heavy coding.
- Parloa builds conversational agents for customer service, and SAP plans to connect those agents to business data in SAP Service Cloud and list Parloa’s management platform in its app store.
- SAP says it will make n8n available inside Joule Studio on the SAP Business AI Platform, part of a broader AI push that includes buying Prior Labs and pursuing deals for Dremio and Reltio.
